The way I see it, Maurizio is really helping V&M. He can let Y&M slide because they won't be medal contenders in Sochi. Maurizio is picking on V&M hard, so that they know what to improve on. When it comes to competing with D&W, every single little 1/10th of a point counts.

More of a consultant who is hired to get a specific task accomplished, a bit more mercenary. A bit different than an actual coach who is a lifelong teacher and supporter and is supposed to be loyal to the skaters in question.
